Celebrating Easter at the 3B Homestead is indeed special!  In addition to the Celebrate Easter events hosted by The 3B Homestead, Buells  offer an opportunity for all neighbors, friends, and guests to bring a cross in remembrance of a loved one, or friend who has passed away.  The crosses are then "planted" in the corn field south of the Buell’s home.

​

The crosses are home-made or purchased, decorated or plain.  Names and stories connected to the cross are optional. 

​

Crosses are brought to the 3B Homestead anytime during the weeks before Easter.  People “plant” their own cross in The Field of Crosses, or leave their cross in the box near the field’s entrance for the Buells to “plant.” 

 

Crosses remain in the field until after Easter.  Guests who want their cross back attach a weather-proof label with their phone number. Buells then arrange for a pick-up time after Easter.

 

Everyone is invited to drive by and view The Field of Crosses during the season of Easter. 

 

Why do we do this?  When we lose someone, we hurt. The crosses invite us to bring our hurts to Jesus and because of the cross, Jesus gives forgiveness and HOPE.
